THE FRENCH BUDGET.
Bismarck Expects France &
behave Better.


BERLIN, April SO.-The budget com.
mittee in the Reichstag to-day, adopted
in the form proposed by the governme emf
the estimates for construction of bar
racks and hospitals; also the vote for
strategic railways, for increasing the
efficiency of the army, and the loan
bill. When the Reichstag resumes bust.
ness on Thursday the committee will
present their report approving the
whole budget of proposals of the gov.
ernment, excepting the artillery grant
Some discussion occurred over 81, ,060, 900
marks devoted to rendering the army
better prepared to fight, and sugges-
lions were made to reduce the vote
of $4,000. 900 for strategic railways, but
these ideas of economy were overuled
by conviction that collision with
France cannot be long postponed; for the
release Of Schnaebeles only modities the
position.
So far as iustifying Prince Bismarck s
diplomatic position in demanding the
cessation of French official excitation 10
revolt in Alsace. Lorraine, and the stop.
page Of an organized system of espionage
throughout Germany, he has good claim
to demand that France shall cease from
official intriguing in German provinces.
1t is believed that Prince Bismarck is
about to make urgent representations
that, having proved his good will in the
Schnabeles case, France must now stop
its offences against international law by
ordering her officials TO refrain from
fomenting treason in Alsace.Lorraine.

FREIGHT RATES HIGHER.
LeastWise Commercial People
Think That Way.

CHICAGO, April 3o.-'The Inter.Oceen
to-day prints the result of interviews
with the heads Of represen tatiye whole.
sale receivers and shippers Of grain ard
provisions, which develop some interest
ing information as to the practical ep-
Grafton of the Interstate Commerce law.
The one point upon which they all
agreed was that freight rates are likely
to be permanently higher under the new
enactment, and that the consumer Of
commodities must pay this increase into
The treasury of the railroads. Some
hold, however, that compensating ad.
vaniages will be derived from the en-.
forcement Of the short and long haul
section and The unjust discrimination
clause is sufficient to more than offset
the increase in charges. In many iE-
stances, too, the advantage of advances
in freight rates cut no figure in the
prices of goods which weigh very little
in comparison with their values. Still,
there is an undesirable advance thus far
in the amount Of money expended in
freight charges by jobbers of these goods,
of fully 20 to 25 per cent, and their
business with the Pacific coast is prac-
tically obliterated under the law. The
attitude OF the railroads toward the
law was almost universally condemned.

CALIFORNIA DEMURS.
And Objects to the Tax on Drum
Nacrs.

SAN FRANCIsco, April 3O.-A meeting
the Board of Trade was held yestci
day to take action on the question OF tt
commercial travellers license in tie
State of Nevada. A communication WI 8
read from the secretary of the Board OF
Trade atsSacramento, in which 1t was
stated that the members of the Board
are under the impression that the recent
decision of the Supreme Court OF the
United States declares unconstitutional
the imposing in one State OF tax upon
citizens of another for soliciting trade
and patronage in another. AT any rate,
they think that the sums exacted py
Nevada officials from travellers for Gall
fornia business houses, are illegal, ex'
orbitant, extortionate, and that they are
not war; anted by any law, and can be
honestly and legally avoided. :.
After the reading of the letter dis.
cussion ensued. 1t was finally agreed
that test case was the only solution OF
the difficulty. President Saunderson
will shortly call meeting OF all the San
Francisco merchants who pay license
for their travellers in Nevada, as well as
all members OF the Board OF Trade,
whether they do business in that State
or not. Action will be then taken In
co. operation with the Sacramento Board.

LOUISVILLE, April 3o.-Everything is
qniet this morning about the Jail and
the court house square. The meeting
agreed upon by the mob leaders failed
to materialize, and it is generally be.
lieved that all danger Of mob violence
has passed. Turner and Patterso n
passed miserable night. They refused
to eat and could not sleep with any
peace. When the prisoners were told
that the militia and gatling gun had ap-
peared, they grew quiet and rested under
feeling of safety. The statement
published by one of the morning papers
indicating that Patterson was able to
prove an alibi is not generally believed.
II is strongly contradictory of another
story told by Patterson few days ago.

EXTENDING ELECTION MONEY,
Vague but suggestive Evidence

CHICAGO, April 30.-A Charleston

investigation was begun to-day into
charges made at the close of the
session OF the Legislature of that State
that Senator Minnear was influenced for
q consideration to vote for the re. election
of Camden, Democrat, to the United
States Senate. Shelton Roger testified
that, as personal friend, he had visited
Minnear and learned that a letter from
the Republican Central Committee had
been sent to Republican members of the
Legislature, alleging that Camden was us.
ing money to secure his recollection. A
copy of this letter he had offered to
Camden. and also to United States Col.
lector McGraw, for consideration; but,

less, he again visited Minnear's home,
and
PURLoINED THE ORIGINAL LETTER,
fac smile of which was published in
the Wheeling papers. Witness further
testified that he came here and bar
gained with three members to vote for
Camden, in consideration of $1,000.
The money, he said, was raised by
Republicans. whose names he refused
to give. The votes were to be cast on
given signal from him, at stated time.
Camden, however, said to witness: if
these men voted for him he, Camden,
would prosecute them and Roger; so the
signal was not given, and the votes were
not cast. Witness once more
REFUSED TO DIvULGE THE NAMES
of the parties furnishing the money, but
said Camden was not one of them.
When asked what he received for the
famous letter which was published,
Witness said he received his expenses,
and Collector McGraw gave him thirty
dollars, and later at Washington twenty
more. Witness said he has "spells"
after which he is bright, but
at other times lie is dull and
stupid. He did not know of the twenty
dollars given him in Washington, until
the next day, as it was put in his pocket
by McGraw. Camden did not give it TO
him. McGIaw promised him an annual
pass over the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, which he has not yet received.
The committee adjourned until Monday.

fits, and had one after the examination
was concluded. His acquaintances al.
